Explanation:
The carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis is taken through stomata. So, even if a plant keeps on taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide during the day, it does not mean that no photosynthesis is happening in the plant

Answer:
When photosynthesis occurs during the day, the carbon dioxide released by plants by respiration is all used up and not released. Similarly, some of the oxygen produced during photosynthesis is used up in respiration.
Since the plant is releasing carbon dioxide and taking in oxygen even during the day, it means that no photosynthesis is taking place.
